Non-neoceratopsian Ceratopsia Holobaramin? Hailu and Dodson (2004) Negative correlation with neoceratopsian taxa (BDC). No clustering with neoceratopsian taxa (MDS/ PCA). Madzia et al. (2017) No clustering with other taxa (PCA). Breeden (2016) No clustering with other taxa in PC 3/PC 1 (PCA). Hailu and Dodson (2004) Positive correlation among members (BDC). Members cluster together (MDS/PCA). Madzia et al. (2017) Members cluster together (PCA). Very weakly supported: too few taxa are included. Nevertheless, Psittacosaurus , Chaoyangsaurus , and Yinlong consistently do not cluster or show positive correlation with neoceratopsians. Non-ceratopsoidean Neoceratopsia Holobaramin? Hailu and Dodson (2004) Negative correlation or no correlation with other taxa (BDC). No clustering with other taxa (PCA). Madzia et al. (2017) No clustering with other taxa (PCA). Breeden (2016) No clustering with other taxa in PC 3/PC 1 (PCA). Hailu and Dodson (2004) Members positively correlate (BDC). Members cluster together (MDS/PCA). Madzia et al. (2017) Members cluster together (PCA). Breeden (2016) Members cluster together (PCA). These animals consistently cluster together and are separate from ceratopsoids and Psittacosaurus -like animals. This is relatively strong evidence for a holobaramin, but unfortunately there are few taxa included in most analyses, and "basal" ceratopsoid animals like Turanoceratops and Zuniceratops are not included. Chasmosaurinae Holobaramin? Dodson et al. (2004) Negative correlation with outgroup taxa and almost no correlation of any kind with centrosaurines (BDC). No clustering with other taxa (MDS/PCA). Fry (2015) No clustering with other taxa (PCA). Dodson et al. (2004) Chasmosaurines positively correlate and centrosaurines positively correlate, but only one positive correlation links them (BDC). Chasmosaurines and centrosaurines cluster separately, but members of the subfamilies cluster together (MDS/PCA). Fry (2015) Members cluster/make a series together (PCA). It is unlikely that chasmosaurines and centrosaurines are in different baramins. At first glance, it might seem like Centrosaurinae and Chasmosaurinae should be treated as separate holobaramins. However, the Dodson et al. (2004) analysis is lacking many new taxa which seem to link centrosaurines and chasmosaurines (e.g., Albertaceratops and Regaliceratops ). The Fry (2015) analysis does show clustering of all of the taxa or a series connecting the centrosaurine taxa to the chasmosaurines. However, the analysis is focused on chasmosaurines and is using centrosaurines as an outgroup. Firmer conclusions must await an analysis including many more centrosaurine taxa. Additional evidence for holobaraminic status for all of Ceratopsidae comes in the form of an incredibly restricted stratigraphic range (only Campanian- Maastrichtian) and geographic range (all North American except Sinoceratops , which is from China). Centrosaurinae Holobaramin? Dodson et al. (2004) Negative correlation with outgroup taxa and almost no correlation of any kind with chasmosaurines (BDC). Dodson et al. (2004) Chasmosaurines positively correlate and centrosaurines positively correlate, but only one positive correlation links them (BDC). Chasmosaurines and centrosaurines cluster separately, but members of the subfamilies cluster together (MDS/PCA). See Chasmosaurinae for notes. 456 Doran et al. ◀ Dinosaur baraminology ▶ 2018 ICC
